Our Lodge 205 St Urho grasshopper. In addition to it's green lights, it is motorized - the motor moves the wings up & down. The grasshopper comes out every St Urho's Day and is placed on the front lawn, or entryway, of the St Urho's Day celebration host's home. The grasshopper was donated to our lodge by the Britt family many years ago. Photo by Inke.
